Western Grebe and a long stretch 20070806_1150

North Idaho

I have seen long hair, and long legs, but what a neck on this bird! This Western Grebe was really stretching to add all these aquatic plants to it's nest. Note- That small speck of silver in mid-air just in front of the Grebe's beak is a minuscule drop of water that was airborne when I triggered the shutter.
